Cactus Compute
Cactus Needle 2
Cactus Needle 2 is a 45M-parameter, 14 MB agentic model for tiny devices. It focuses on tool calling, device control, schema-constrained JSON, and structured extraction; Cactus reports 28 MB session RAM, 800+ tok/s prefill, and 500+ tok/s decode on Raspberry Pi 5. Its 256-token sliding attention window is not a total context or output limit; those ceilings are not established by the model documentation.
AI4Finance Foundation
